Miancheng Ruins

　　Located about 1 kilometer southwest of Miancheng Street in Miancheng Hui Ethnic Town, these are ruins from the Ming Dynasty, covering an area of approximately 800,000 square meters. The site has a rectangular layout, roughly 1,000 meters long from east to west and 800 meters wide from north to south. Originally built as a brick-walled city, only the southern earthen wall remains today, extending 600 meters in length, 12 meters in width, and 1.8 meters in height. Outside the city, remnants of a moat can still be seen. Inside the site, there are over 20 ancient wells, four stone bridges, and more than 60 stone carvings. According to the *Mianyang Prefecture Records*, during the early Ming Dynasty, the city was rebuilt on the old site, abandoning the northeastern half and reconstructing the Mianyang City.
